Gloucestershire Gateway Trust

We are Gloucestershire Gateway Trust, a community development charity dedicated to driving sustainable community projects in partnership with local communities and a motorway services business. Over the past 20 years, we have invested an estimated £10 million into impactful community initiatives through our local community partners. Our unique partnership with Gloucester Services allows for up to 3p in every £1 of non-fuel sales to be reinvested in local communities, people, and projects, furthering our commitment to fostering positive change.

Through our partnership, we support twelve remarkable community organizations with long-term funding, enabling them to make a significant difference in our communities. Our initiatives, such as the Bridging the Gap program, have proven to be instrumental in helping individuals enhance their communication skills, build confidence, and secure employment opportunities. The impact of our work is evident in the success stories of individuals like Ryan, who have benefited from our programs and are now thriving in their careers. We are dedicated to continuing our efforts to empower and uplift our communities, making a lasting and meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
